Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has been charged with hit-and-run for a wrong-way-related crash on a Southern California freeway.
Orange County prosecutors filed misdemeanor charges against Rodman on Monday for the July 20 accident on Interstate 5 in Santa Ana.
Prosecutors say Rodman's SUV was headed north in a southbound carpool lane about 12.30am, forcing a sedan to swerve into a dividing wall to avoid a collision.
His lawyer Paul Meyer says the incident happened on a poorly signed exit ramp.
He says Rodman corrected the error without the cars touching, stopped and spoke to people in the other car.

Rodman's also charged with driving across a dividing section, driving without a valid license and giving police false information. He could face two years jail if convicted.
